Reviews of Brookdale Morristown

I visited this facility

I like Brookdale better because it's a few dollars cheaper, so I would prefer to go there. I liked it because it was on one floor and seemed very cheerful. Each room was very small but very efficient. You had everything that you could need fit in there. I really liked it. It was pretty. You get a nice big window and windowsill, which I and the cat love. To me, it was more homey and had a lot to offer in terms of activities and exercises. They also had a bus to take you places. Brookdale was my #1 because it was small, cozy and homey.

We've been in Brookdale Morristown for 6 weeks now. It is clean, the food and the care are good, and the price is reasonable. They took two small individual units and combined it so that we got a living room and a bathroom. They got a lot of different programs that they run. There’s a big family room beside the dining room, a game room, and a therapy room. It’s very convenient and the people are all nice. They are providing all the services that we need.

Brookdale Morristown had a cheaper price, and it had more space. The staff was helpful. I think they were knowledgeable, and most of them had been working there for several years. It did not look like there was a big turnover. My aunt had two bathrooms, one living room, and one bedroom. The food seemed to be well prepared, tasty, and fresh. They had a bus that takes residents to the doctors.

I loved everything about Emeritus. The staff was great and I was really looking forward to placing my mother there even though it would have been a drive for me. The facility and the staff were great. She took me all over the facility and let me look at the different level areas that Mom could go see. I was impressed with the service and the help that I got from just talking to them.

I had an overall positive experience while visiting Emeritus. First of all, it's located in a great place for us, since other good facilities are an hour's drive away in Knoxville or Sevierville. It was also nice to have a good hospital right nearby, which put our mind at ease. The staff was friendly and seemed to genuinely care for their charges. My grandmother complained about some of the staff, but only when she seemed to be acting unreasonable due to her Alzheimer's. She always had someone available to help her dress, which she very much needed with her physical liabilities. Most importantly, she had a clean, comfortable apartment, (the entire facility was quite clean) and she could have the temperature the way she wanted it, though sometimes we would have to remind her about that. She liked the food well enough that she didn't complain about it. And it had a great library section that allowed her to indulge in her favorite activity: reading. And once while she was there, the facility organized a "field trip" to see a local play, which my grandmother enjoyed quite a bit. Because of this and other activities, she never seemed bored or complained about the lack of something to do when I visited. That was one thing that was very important to us: that she keep her mind occupied. Emeritus allowed her to do that, and more. I really don't have anything negative to say about the entire facility. My grandmother was treated well, and with dignity, and that's all we could ask for.
